First, apologies for being somewhat absent here. I took a trip to South Dakota to visit my mom. She's back in the ICU - not because of my visit. It was a good visit. I might post some of the pics of the scenery when I get a chance.

But I have a work story to share. I answer calls sometimes for the hospital our little office is set in. The hospital is a drug and alcohol treatment center and acute psychiatric. I got a call one afternoon from a lady saying she needed an appt for detox. They need to meet with an intake worker before they can come in. I checked the book.

I came back to the phone and said, "I am sorry, the next available appointment is in 4 days."
